San Diego Chargers will probably end up in L.A., cause San Diego refuses to build the Chargers a new stadium. But I`m sure there will be a 2nd team coming , say maybe the Rams. They've always added an even number (2) at a time in the past, not counting the merger of the two leagues. An even number makes sense for scheduling. Also don`t count out Europe and Mexico. The added tv contract in the UK and probably other European countries that would follow the new London team. It just makes good economic sense to add a team n LA and London. At some point in the future it makes sense to have a team in Mexico City too if the political and drug war situation works itself out enough. There are over 113 million people in Mexico. That's the added benefit of adding teams in Mexico City or London, there's only one team for the whole country. Every football fan would follow that one team. But of course Los Angeles is first priority.

I would have to agree with you Naz. I've heard some say the Chargers, but then I would never hear the end of old Charger fans throwing it in our faces that they were from San Diego first, etc.

You do know that The CHARGERS were originally from LOS ANGELES?

Personally I loathe the RAIDERS their fans and their ownership. I can't for the life of me understand how a poorly run franchise that has been incredibly bad for a decade deserves another shot in L.A. after screwing over the fans and the tax payers of L.A.
I would much rather see the CHARGERS who were born in L.A. return. Can't stand the RAIDERS. Big mouths, all talk and in the end they get beat down every year.

They almost remind me of the big mouth JETS. Lots of talk but in the end they get beat up.

John Hadl says hello. I really think that L.A. is going to get an expansion team and maybe even the Chargers when all is said and done. Chargers are among the biggest choke franchises around whereas the Raiders have only sucked outright for the last decade. I hate the Raiders myself but they have won 3 Super Bowls which is more than most NFL franchises. Let them stay in Oakland where they belong. I am a big believer in tradition and the Raiders are a northern California team. Most of their true diehard fans are up there and the Raiders experienced most of their success up there.

I agree with almost everthing you said... Except to add that most RAIDER's fans are on PAROLE. I still find the CHARGERS a hell of a lot more entertaining than the FADERS.

Man John HADL Lol. Hard to believe that pudgy fucker was an NFL QB. He looked like he should have been a bus driver. As for the CHARGERS they invented air attack. Who doesn't remember air Coryell. The SID GILLMAN era was a little before my time. I do remember LANCE ALWORTH barely.

That game against the Cowboys was an instant classic.

Classic Sucky Pre season game

DMC looked good. So did the offensive line for the most part. Unfortunately for RAIDER' s fans PALMER looks mediocre and the WR's still can't catch.  Too bad MANNING is in the division he's going to light you guys up.  Prediction 6 - 10 and once again no playoffs.

Update: The CHOKELAND RAIDERS lose again. PALMER throws like a girl. On the upside STREATER is a legit wr. He's more consistent and runs better routes than FORD, or HEYWARD - BUST. MIKE GOODSON should be on the practice squad.

Just confirming that I was right after one week. The Raiders still blow and the only  Wr  that  contributed a score was STREATER. Cmon RAIDER nation where are all of those fans I hear so much about? One itty bitty beat down at home and you guys abandon your team and join the witless protection program. Another long DISAPPOINTMENT FILLED season awaits. Did I mention MIKE GOODSON sucks? Pack your bags JACOBY you're about to join the unemployment line.

What game were you watching? You obviously didn’t want the Raider game last night.

Palmer looked good and his passes had nice zip. The only times he looked bad was when it appeared he wasn’t on the same page with the receivers which was many times last night. There were many times that Carson put the ball right on the receivers hands, especially to Streeter and it was dropped. Heyward Bey and Streeter continuously ran bad routes last night that had Carson frustrated.

I don’t know why you are trying to give yourself credit for Streeter he didn’t play that well last night and is no more than a possession receiver in this league. Streeter does not have big play ability. He is almost a carbon copy of Derek Hagen who has had a below average career in the NFL. Hagen just got signed last week and had as many catches as Streeter without the same number of drops. Streeter is a nice story and can be a nice addition to the team, but he’s no star.

Moore and Jacoby Ford are the WR studs on this team. They have big play ability and have had huge games in this league already. The only thing that has held them both back has been injuries. You can talk all you want about route running but without the pure physical tools that both Ford and Moore possess it doesn’t matter.

As far as the Raiders, they didn’t look great but mainly because of bad luck, poor execution and untimely penalties. The Raiders appear more disciplined with only 4 penalties. The Raiders were missing their 2 starting receivers and during the game they lost their long snapper which was result of 2 Charger scores. Take out the bad snaps from the back up long snapper the game is even.

And this is not the place to call out for Raider fans. If you really want to get reaction from Raiders fans come with me to a few bars during Raiders game so you can ask this same question of where are the Raiders fans at after a loss. I think you’ll see then just how supportive they are.
